PLAbottles.eu – biodegradable bottle manufacturer – Compostable bottles – plant-based bottles
- Biodegradable vs. CompostableBiodegradable vs. Compostable Biodegradable and compostable are two terms that are often used interchangeably, but they actually have different meanings and implications. Understanding the differences between these two terms is important for making informed decisions about waste management and reducing the impact of human activities on the environment. Biodegradable Biodegradable refers to materials that can […]
- PLA and anaerobic digestionPolylactic Acid (PLA) is a biodegradable, bio-based polymer made from fermented plant sugars. The use of PLA as a feedstock for anaerobic digestion to produce biogas has gained attention as a way to reduce waste and produce renewable energy. Anaerobic digestion is a biological process that occurs in the absence of oxygen, where microorganisms break […]
